So the current fan on my x1900xtx Saphire looks like this:

and sounds like a blowdryer.


I am looking to buy an after market cooler that is very very quiet.

I am very nubby.. please basically tell me what I should get. And will it be dificult to install?
 
I just got zalmans vf 900 cooler for my 1900xtx and it is amazing. My idle temp is now 39C and while playing medieval 2 total war the hottest it has gotten was 52C. A very very large decrease in temps as you know from having one.

BTW, I have the exact same card as you, installation is a breeze, and AS5 a must.

awesome to hear! How is the noise on that new fan? Is it much quieter than the vacume cleaner attached to my current one?

and what the heck is AS5..?



Well after looking into it a bit more I think I'm going to get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186002

AS5 is arctic silver #5, a compund used commonly in computers to help the heat-transfer properties from a certain part, (like a cpu, or in this case a gpu processor,) to a heatsink.
